Bleuette, the hexapod robot
Bleuette project is hexapod robot equipped with 6 legs that can be operated without any external guidance.
The french project is fully open hardware (made entirely with an Ultimaker 3D printer) / opensource and operates on a Arduino Leonardo board with a custom shield developed for it and available on Hugo’s website, the author of the project. It is used mostly to control the 12 servos (+ 2 optional) for the legs, measure voltage and current.
Take a look at the robot’s first steps!
Hugo is also thinking about future developments for Bleuette, like equipping it with a Bluetooth connection, a magnetic sensor to keep an edge when walking and finally a mobile turret with an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles in front of it.
